Vulnerability in MediaTek chipsets discovered, promptly fixed

Smart Android And Trik-Commenting on Andorid indeed never endless, because smart devices this one is often updated every certain amount of time. So that the market can always be garapnya menerinya with pleasure. And it is not denied if this device has become the lifestyle of each society.

From the sleek devices impress with the design premium, up to a full plant furniture features, to a very good device, and affordable mobile phone has a heavy weight, the Android ecosystem inhabited by a diverse range of attractive mobile phone Vulnerability in MediaTek chipsets discovered, promptly fixed Vulnerability in MediaTek chipsets discovered, promptly fixed,But "oversize" are subjective, and sometimes pieces of the specification and a list of features is not enough to get an idea of how good a phone. In this roundup, we look at the absolute best-the Android phone you can't go wrong with. The habits of young people or to accentuate trand blindly lifestyle, make this a medoroang this clever device industry vying to do modifications to the device, with a distinctly vitur vitur-tercanggihnya. So it can be received over the counter Vulnerability in MediaTek chipsets discovered, promptly fixed

Check Point Research published a whitepaper detailing a vulnerability that has been fixed by MediaTek back in October. The vulnerability allowed for what's called a privilege escalation attack.

The issue itself is related to the AI and audio processing and apps with the right code could have gotten access to system-level audio information that apps usually don't have. More sophisticated apps could have launched an eavesdropping attack even.

Check Point Research explains that the vulnerability is pretty complicated and the researchers' team had to reverse-engineer the process. In short, an app could have passed commands to the audio interface and extract information only if the attackers knew about the series

of exploits in MediaTek's firmware.

There's no information that such attacks have taken place and current owners of MediaTek-powered devices should not worry as the company has already patched the vulnerability with an October update.

Neither the researchers nor MediaTek have shared a list of affected devices or chips but the whitepaper mentions SoCs based on the so-called Tensilica APU platform. Interestingly enough, there are some HiSilicon Kirin chips from Huawei that run on the same platform but there's no info whether they are or have been vulnerable to such attacks.
